    Default Hair specialist at southern general was a joke !

    I had my appointment at the Southern general hospital hair clinic in Glasgow.The so called hair specialist had a quick look at my hair and diagnosed me with AGA(but cant be 100% sure) as she said she can see more hair loss from front .She suggested Rogaine.
    My hair loss history.....
    -Diffuse hair loss started a year ago (shed up to 200 hairs a day)
    -Scalp itches and burns
    -Mothers father has hair loss
    -Father has hair loss
    -Brother has hair loss
    -One aunt on mothers side has hair loss
    -All blood works are normal

    She said l didn't need a biopsy even though my scalp burns and itches every day .I asked her various questions such as how Rogaine works and she said she didnt know (wtf ?hair specialist!?).I just feel so let down by this diagnosis !I shed all day every day so how can this be AGA ? Are there any drs or specialists in uk who actually know about hair loss or are they all just winging it ?Im sick of getting no where with this !I have started the Rogaine 2% out of desperation(which is making me shed even more) but don't know wither to start on Spironalactone as the specialist said it doesnt do anything for AGA and im scared to take it incase its not AGA as you need to take it for rest of life !Im so frustrated and angry that this condition is not taken seriously !!!!!!!This is causing me terrible low self esteem and depression as im sure it does for most of us !!!!Does anyone know of a good hair clinic or specialist in uk ?
